Important BPS Examination Updates – please read everything below before scheduling:
Information for All BPS Examinees
All applicant name changes must be submitted to BPS within 30 days of the candidate’s application submission, before an examination is scheduled. Candidates are responsible for immediately notifying BPS of any address change (including e-mail) or legal name change. Notification for admission to the examination, communication of test results, maintenance of certified status and renewal of certification is contingent upon BPS having current contact information.
The name you submit with your application must match your non-expired government or nationally issued photo- and signature-bearing identification (e.g., driver’s license, passport, military ID card, or valid national identification card). Failure to provide BPS with a name matching your identification may result in a denial to enter the testing center on your scheduled examination date and forfeiture of all associated fees. View the BPS Exam Day Guide for more information.
Candidates who arrive at the testing site or launch the remote exam 30 minutes after their scheduled testing appointment may be denied admission and will forfeit all testing fees.
For all information concerning the BPS examination process please visit the BPS website.
Candidates may cancel or reschedule a Certification or Recertification examination up to 5 days prior to the scheduled examination appointment, through Pearson’s scheduling system. BPS staff will not process appointment change requests.
Cancel/Reschedule fees will be charged as follows:
- 30 or more days prior to appointment: No fee collected by Pearson.
- 5-29 days prior to appointment: $60 fee collected by Pearson.
- Less than 5 days prior to appointment: no cancel/reschedule will be allowed. Your full test fee will be retained by BPS.
For more details on the BPS withdrawal and deferral policy for Certification Examinations, review the “Managing your Examination Appointment” section of the BPS Candidates Guide.
For more details on the BPS withdrawal policy for Recertification Examinations, review the “Examination Withdrawals” section of the BPS Recertification Guide.

Admission Documents
All BPS candidates must present a non-expired government or nationally issued photo- and signature- bearing identification to test. Candidates will be required to sign in and will be instructed where to store personal items and where to keep identification. The candidate’s identity will be verified every time they enter or leave the testing room.
Candidates will not be permitted to enter the examination room unless proper identification as described above is presented. The candidate’s name as it appears on the confirmation email must match the candidate’s name as it appears on non-expired government or nationally issued photo and signature bearing identification.

BPS has partnered with Pearson to provide Online Proctored (OP) testing, previously referred to as Live Remote Proctoring (LRP)). To be eligible, candidates must be approved to test and reside in the U.S., Canada, or Australia.
If you are considering OP for your upcoming exam, please be sure to review the BPS Candidate’s Guide, which notes policies related to OP, before you schedule your examination. You will be asked to agree to the specific terms and conditions before you schedule your OP appointment.
